Proofreading And Type setting

We are experienced and detail-oriented proofreaders bring you peace of mind to your translations by paying meticulous attention to the linguistic, stylistic, and cultural aspects of text.

To provide such a work we have detail-oriented native proofreaders team that grasp subtleties of linguistic, stylistic, and cultural aspects, and will pay close attention to the source material to deliver a text free from typos, punctuation errors, awkward phrasing, poor word choice, improper formatting, and other errors or inaccuracies.

Customer documents are proofread and marked up using the ‘track changes’ function in Microsoft Word, which allows for the easy navigation of changes and comments. Our proofreaders include all modifications made to the original document, while also including comments and suggestions in the margins.

The final document you will receive will includes all this documentation, research, and reasoning behind the changes so it would clear to understand the changes.

Furthermore, we will provide the track of the changes made so everything can be easily traced down. In this manner the most thought through change, and the more miniscule correction can be easily backtracked, escalated, explained, and discuss.

The resulting document is one that meets your every requirement.

Novatia offers this service in two manners:

As part of all a complete project, since all project follow TEP (translation, editing, proofreading) process;
As a standing alone service for texts that have processed that have been adapted by a different source.

Typesetting

Interpretations

We provide interpretation services for the following areas of application:

Conferences – this area of application is divided into two: the institutional and the local private markets. The institutional markets often require adaptation from various foreign languages into the interpreters’ mother tongue. The local private markets, on the other hand, require adaptation from one language to another.

Legal/court setting – this area is technical in nature and requires mastery of the subject as well as the languages involved. Interpretation in this area of application is utilised in judicial courts, during tribunals or legal proceedings. In this setting, the interpreter must be able to simultaneously process statements or the whole proceeding through electronic means for one or more people.

Escort/personal – otherwise known as liaison interpreting, interpretation services for this form of application requires the linguist to accompany a person or a group in a tour, a visit or a meeting.

Public service – this type of application requires a great deal of understanding of the target audience. An interpreter must be conscious of a number of factors including emotional content, the state of the surroundings, the stress levels of the audience, and the relationship between the audience and the source.

Medical – this area of application usually takes place between a medical practitioner and a patient. A medical interpreter must have a strong understanding of medicine and the other areas of expertise involved in the practice, as it involves serving both the caregiver and the patient.

Localization are the processes by which a product is brought over from one local market to another, making it as intuitive, expressive, and user-friendly that users from both markets will feel it if was native, and written from the ground up to them.

Cross-cultural awareness of traditions, costumes, and market effectiveness are all taken into account when making the decisions over the best way to localize a product.

Format, orthography, degree of expressiveness, plays on words, alliterations, user friendliness are elements that constantly influence each other to get the best, and most successful solution for a given local market.
